Re: Advantages of 10x50 over 8x42?

If the binocular are of equal quality the differences are more incremental. However what I do notice when sweeping star fields on a dark night with a 10x50 size binocular is that the background blanket of stars are more prominent and hence the image is more satisfying
With my roofs when I went up the next size from the 10x42 I went to the 10x56 size [Nikon Monarchs] where the difference is clearly noticeable – a 77% increase in light gathering ability over the 42mm’s. The 56mm’s also remain easily hand hold able.
If you want to remain with the 50mm size that does not answer your question. If you could compare a 42 and 50mm side by side that may make your mind up.
